The Perfect Balance of Power and Control

A lot of speakers can sound loud. But very few speakers can handle an enormous amount of power and reproduce that sound with extreme clarity like the new and improved Type-R speakers. You get all the power handling without sacrificing clarity. Type-R speakers deliver solid performance, superior linearity, efficiency, and great bass response. Upgrade to Type-R speakers and hear the perfect balance of power and control.

Overview

100 Watts RMS

300 Watts Peak

Ultra Smooth 1" Silk Dome Tweeter

Swivel Tweeter

H.A.M.R. Surround (Patent Pending)

Multi-Layer Hybrid Fiber Cone

Large Square Wire Dual-Layer Voice Coil

High-performance Linear Drive Motor

Small is Better

The new smaller Neodymium Magnet on the Type-R series allows the total speaker dimensions to be smaller. Not only do you get better performance and control, the compact size makes them easier to install in a wider variety of vehicles. Plus, they are much lighter than typical designs using standard magnet technology.

HD Polymer Frame

Traditional speaker frame designs rely on steel making them larger and heavier. The new Type-R series uses a revolutionary HD Polymer frame making the speaker stronger, lighter, and easier to install.

Awesome Power Handling

The Type-R series continues its legendary reputation for power handling capabilities. One reason is Alpine’s patented Linear Drive Motor. It uses a square-wire voice coil that is a large 30mm diameter, driven by a small, powerful neodymium magnet. This unique design provides linear motion over an extremely wide excursion, efficiently turning your amplifier’s power into great sound. At high volumes, when other speakers give up, Type-R’s Linear Drive Motor keeps on producing high quality output.

High-Impact Bass Performance

Type-R speakers use Alpine’s patent pending Multi roll HAMR surround, a technology developed for many of Alpine’s legendary subwoofer designs. At higher volume levels, a speaker’s suspension system typically loses control and becomes unstable. Alpine’s HAMR Surround combines both large cone area and long linear cone excursion for deep, powerful bass response.

High Performance Tweeter

The Type-R tweeter is an entirely new design that provides crisp, smooth response engineered for the car environment. The 25mm diameter silk dome offers wide bandwidth and tremendous detail. Alpine’s new EQ Ring improves the tweeter’s dispersion characteristics, providing excellent off-axis response. The motor structure incorporates a special copper cap to minimize distortion and enhance vocal presence. You have to hear to believe how great these tweeters sound. Plus, you can swivel the tweeter up to 15 degrees to provide advanced custom sound tuning and directional control by focusing sound where it should be, not pointed at your feet.

High Efficiency

The new Type-R line not only handles a lot of power, but it’s also very efficient, making it the perfect match for built-in head unit power, the KTP-445 Power Pack, or a high-powered component amplifier like the MRX or PDX series.
